What is the best way of stripping the paint off the ceiling?

it's a plastered concrete ceiling.What is the best way of stripping the paint off the ceiling?
There is no reason to remove old paint unless it is loose and flaking off. Sanding will not work well due too the rough texture. If you have flaking or peeling. a stiff wire brush will help to remove old loose paint before you repaint it.What is the best way of stripping the paint off the ceiling?
you should remove all loose paint with a scaper fill edges sand down polyfilla and then line the ceiling with 1200 grade lining paper
sand it off
dont strip it just paint or paper over it just wash over it with sugar soap only a mad person would try stripping a ceiling ?????
use methalayated spirits
sounds like a monstrous job, would you not paint it? Otherwise hire a machine and a strapping young lad or two and stand back and watch!
Dynamite
Just use a sharp putty knife to knock off any loose stuff and fill in with spackling compound. No need to strip the whole thing.
Just paint over it.
